How do glue traps work?

Glue traps, like Trapper Mouse and Trapper Rat Glue Board Traps are easy to use. Simply place the traps where the floor meets the wall in areas where rodents travel (as indicated by rodent signs like hair, droppings, or damage). Glue traps have a low profile so the rodent will not become suspicious when it happens upon the trap-it will continue to walk across it as if it were an extension of the floor. As soon as the rodent comes in contact with the glue, it becomes entangled and unable to free itself. The rodent will eventually suffocate to death.

Are there any drawbacks to using Glue Board Traps?

When you check the traps you have placed after a few days, there is always the chance that a trapped mouse or rat will be in the process of dying, and not yet dead, which may be unpleasant for some people. In that case, the right trap for you might be a live catch trap, like the Tin Cat Repeating Mouse Trap, which traps up to 30 live mice at once, allowing you to turn around and set them free outdoors. Rats are more likely to escape glue boards than mice, especially if they do not get all 4 feet on the trap.

What if the glue gets stuck to human skin?

If a pet or person happens to come in contact with the glue from the Glue Trap, it can easily be loosened and removed with vegetable or mineral oil.

What should I do when I find a dead rodent on the Glue Trap?

Glue board traps should be checked daily for dead rodents. When disposing of dead rodent carcasses, always wear rubber gloves to prevent any chance of disease, and place the carcass in a plastic bag for disposal.

Can Mouse Glue Traps be used for Rats?

No. Trapping rats requires much stronger and larger glue boards, so if you have a problem with rats, be sure to buy the glue traps specified for rat use, such as Trapper Rat Glue Board Traps.
